After looking for a while I finally found a pair of boots that provided the safety I needed and yet looks good enough to wear around town after I get off my bike. I've had these boots for about a month now and they feel great, I've also received complements on then so far so good. As for size, they fit true to size... I wear a 10 and the size was perfect.

Love, love, love these boots They're very comfortable and the look really good with jeans. I already had the S&S jacket, so when i saw the boots i had to get em. I did a seach online to see if i could find a better price and couldn't. They were 10-20 more everywhere i found them. Glad i bought em..

Hard Knock Life Boot Review - YZDriverCARecommended by Reviewer: Yes

Pros: Well made, Good looks, Comfortable

Cons: Run about a 12 size large.

Good looking well made boot. Comfortable on bike and short walks to the bar...I mean grocery store. I can feel the brake and shift lever with no problems even through what looks like a thick shift pad. I should have bought a 12 size smaller BEFORE I rode in them.

Nice boots. - Mario NYRecommended by Reviewer: Yes

Pros: Very comfortable and stylish.

Cons: They should be waterproof beinig that they're motorcycle boots.

I really love these boots. I already had the Speed and Strength jacket, so when i saw the boots i had to have them. They're very comfortable and they look good with jeans. The price was very good and the shipping was quick. Definitely would recommend to others..

Hard Knock Life Boot Review - TheLos78MARecommended by Reviewer: Yes

Pros: Comfort and styling

Cons: The sole is too soft for foot pegs.

I've had the boots for about three weeks. Took about four days to break-in. Really comfortable boots to wear after your done riding and hanging out. The soft sole is great for that aspect but becomes an issues while riding. After an hour I feel the pegs in my arch a bit. Probably will buy a boot with a shank in the soles next time. The soft soles, although very comfortable, are already getting chewed up by the foot pegs. Maybe the next version will be reinforced on the midsole just like the tops are for the shifter. Overall I am happy with them. They are very comfortable and support my ankles very well. Just being a bit nit picky on the soles as that is the only area actually showing any wear and tear.

Cons: Buckle across laces is a pain. Velcro would be welcome for this function.

Haven't worn them all that much but the quality of the boot seems first rate for the price point. They were very stiff at first but they are beaking in easily and becoming more and more comfortable. I only gave 3 out of 5 stars because I personally would have preferred a taller boot above the ankle and because the plastic buckle is a pain to secure. Also although this is listed as a vented boot it really doesn't flow any air that I can detect.

More sole issues - TheLos78MARecommended by Reviewer: No

Pros: Comfort and Look

Cons: Soles

My last review was in regards to the soles being too soft and wearing away quickly due to contact with pegs. Now the issue is complete sole separation of my right heel. Looks like very little glue was used in the manufacturing process. I've never had a boot do this and I only use them when I ride. Kind of disappointed in that fact. I will buy shoe goo and it will repair it, but I shouldn't have to. Certainly a stylish boot, but yet again the soles seem to be at issue.

Slippery when wet - BobbyFLRecommended by Reviewer: Yes

Pros: Nice looks

Cons: Very slippery when road is wet , if not careful you lay her down

I bought this riding boot but later found out on a wet day that this boot is not ready for wet weather try walking motorcycle realize I had no grip boot was slipping very dangerous at a stop or intersection

Below are more Speed and Strength Reviews from our online customers.

Hopefully they can help you find the right item and make the best buying decision.

I searched several shoes and boots and wanted something more of a shoe as I already have a motorcycley boot. I live in Baton Rouge and it gets hot down here so a moto shoe is perfect protection for the climate we have. I have worn this shoe a couple of times and although it is a bit stiff, it fits great although it is a bit wide. I usually wear a 9.5 so I ordered the 10. I like a lot of extra room in all of my shoes and boots and these moto shoes are just right.

Cons: sole on the left inner heel was easily penetrated by kickstand peg

When I first seen this boot, I liked the design all the way around. I have had my boots for one full season and Ive already got a hole in the inner left heel from the kickstand peg. I would like to hear from Speed and Strength and see what my options are. I would recommend this product if they get back with me on this and fix this flaw.

I wear a size 8.5 to 9.0 and when I purchased a size 9 they fit perfectly. They are very well built, not too loose or tight, very comfortable. The soles are non-slip and fit well on the bike pegs. Adjustment for fit is by the front leather velcro flap - I wish it were just a bit longer but it has never come open during my riding 50 miles to or from work. The ankle adjustment is easy to use - though when in the open unclipped position the adjustment link is loose and not attached to the shoe which could lead to it being lost so when not being worn I keep it snapped shut. So far a very good buy with only very minor glitches - I would purchase them again because of the quality and fit - I can't complain.

This is a follow up to my previous review - the time lapsed is about a year. I have used the boots on a fairly routine basis for about 3 hours each day for five days a week year round on my work commute. I also used them on a 7 day 3400 mile ride to the Redwoods and Sierra Nevada mountains this past summer. After a year of use the re-enforced textured rubber on the toe of my left boot my shift foot has cracked and fallen apart. Everything else with the boots have remained intact and comfortable with the exception of the velcro on the same left boot which is on the strap that croses the top of the boot and is supposed to attach to the velcro on the side. It simply refuses to remain attached and constantly needs to be pulled back and reconnected. This failure of the boot velcro along with the premature degradation of the toe protection has made all of the other benefits of this boot mute. I've never had a shoe or boot that did not last at least 4 years minimum ever before. I take care of my gear by polishingwaxing on a regular basis, expecially if I am caught in the rain these boots have only been in two or three rain storms which is very minimal in my opinion considering how much I ride. If you ride like I do, almost everyday, on a machine that is fast, high performing and exciting to ride, I cannot recommend these boots. If you are a recreational rider, cruiser or only ride on the weekends then you can probably get by with these boots just fine...fact is, if you ride flat footed these boots should be a worthwhile investment especially if you are one of those who normally are too lazy or foolish to wear proper foot protection. The eaze of use make them ideal. At the other extreme, I push my Kawasaki Concours 14 and demandexpect my gear to match the quality and ruggedness of my bike...these boots have failed to match those demands after only a year and will be replaced soon. I hope someone from Speed and Strength reads this and improves upon these boots...I really did like them and wished they had not had such poor quality rubber on the toe protector.

Pros: About as casual as you can get and get away with calling them riding boots

Cons: Quality is pretty awful

I have to start by saying I really like the way these shoes looked on-line. First thing I noticed when I got my hands on them is that the top buckle is really flimsy. That is where the majority of ankle support is, and the thing kept popping open. The hinge doesn't stay locked down under any movement. If you want to adjust the strap to a snug fit for more support, it just pulls loose again. My fellow riders - I DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE BOOTS..... NO WAY they are staying on in a crash. Pretty much the same protection as sneakers in my opinion. Also, the sizing is way off -they run really big. Sorry Comp. Acc. - your site is aces and I love your stuff, but these are losers and I don't think they are really safe. They are going back and I'm sticking with a real riding boot just my 2 cents.
